My late, great great, step-grandmother was named America Charlotte Hood- Day- Mason. She was born, in January of 1844. I have no knowledge of, her exact birth date. I do know that, her place of birth, was in Indiana. Her date of death, was August 5, 1912. I have still not found, her place of death.

Her parents were, Milton and Minerva Shaver/Shafer- Hood. According to an 1880 Census Report, Milton was born in New York, and Minerva was born in Kentucky. Milton Hood, was born in about 1822. Minerva Hood, was born in about 1825.

Furthermore, according to the 1880 Census Report, it made metion that, America Hood was a widow. I did find that, her first husband's name was Truman G. Day. They married in Indiana in 1864.

Furthermore, there was one niece and two nephews listed, with the last name of Day. Their names were Ora Dell, Charles E. Day and James Day. I did find that, Ora and Charles are her children. Again, James is probable a nephew. I have found nothing linking him as the son of Truman and America Day.

America, married Asa Mason, were married on September 9, 1888. I'm certain that, it was in Pike County, Indiana. Again, I do know that, her date of death, was September 5, 1912. However, there are no records of, place of death.

Furthermore, I do know that, she is not buried in Blackfoot Cemetery. Blackfoot Cemetery, is located in Pike County Indiana. I assumed that, she would have been buried, with her second husband Asa Mason. However, this is not the case.

I would appreciate any information, that anyone might have. My home E-Mail address is, OSU_BULLET@YAOO.COM Thank you, Beth Schofield
